    Im wondering what other brides have done or intend to do to try and combat this heat were having.

    Maybe a portable air conditioning unit may be needed to keep me fresh rather than melt with the heat

    even thou, still cant wait for my day to happen, going to be weepie im sure of that lol

    Only 5 days to go CowChop, im sure you will just about survive, probably a few cold showers and or baths maybe in order lol xx

    Tbh i dont know if mine has air con, in the ceremony area, but the wedding breakfast and eve reception i would think so, as they are new additions to the Ceremony venue at Bagden Hall.

    Im wondering if I have to include some water activities to keep everyone cool outside, as were planning to have like a family day with bouncy castle and those big garden games like connect 4 and such

    lol @ Ice packs xx

    Were 2hrs away from where our venue is, and we have family 1hr also 1 and half hrs away, so tried to be central'ish, the ceremony is at 1pm, so basically going to be a all day event, with children so had to keep those pesky ones happy lol, but cant forget the older children like me and kim who are going to ensure WE get 1st bounce on the castle lol xx

    same here i have hoops so hopefully with the dress being white it will reflect some heat away from me, but Ice packs maybe such an idea, well if i can get them frozen at the Premier inn before we move to Bagden on the day lol xx

    OMG £30

    I get mine on prescription, but Im certain its way way less than £30, probably around £3-4 MAX xx, I really do believe in what i posted in my wall, If it stops me sweating, perspiring etc, then its worth it, and I hate spending too much money, so tight ass i get told lol xx

    how did you manage to get it on prescription?? Yeah, i believe i was shafted lol. Just googled what you get and its around £10, but i did only look on one site. I can cope with my arm pits, its my forehead that is the worse as i get beads of persperation on there xx

    Tell your doc you have serious perpiration problems, take with you the details of this item, and if they do their work, they should prescribe it, my ex doc did, but then again, my new doc is useless lol xx

    I have use a product that the doctors prescribe but you can buy it over the counter. It contains aluminium (bit scary sounding!) but it works. You put it on at night and wash it off in the morning. Its called Dri-clor and is available from boots. The only problem with these sort of products is that when you stop sweating in the areas you put in on, you tend to sweat more somewhere else! but is worth using if you dont want sweaty pits! my H2B uses it on his feet! lol

    Im dreading all this sweatiness!!!! I was sweating loads on my hen night and I dont think i could cope with the same level of perspiration on my wedding day too! I was going to have my fringe swept over my face as part of my hair style but now im thinking of having it clipped up! As for my make up! I dont think im going to be wearing any, i will put it on but it will melt in no time! Argh!

    One thing im grateful for is that my dress is really light compared to other dresses Ive tried on! So thank goodness for that! xx

    freeze a bottle of water for the day also get a freezer bag and put some ice blocks and some flannels in that way you can freshen up, my mum uses some cold spray works a treat though i cant remember what its called cools you down in seconds and its not exspencive

    I'm already changing my lingerie (again) from a corset to a longline bra (assuming it fits alright- only just ordered it) as the corset is satin and quite heavy. I get hot just putting it on! lol.

    We're going to have people supplying water all day and no doubt my mum is going to have a coolbox filled with water and (hopefully) Pepsi Max.

    Assuming its going to be a hot day. I hope it's in the twenties (early twenties) with a cool breeze. None of this raining nonsense. I want some warmth and bright light.
    My tanlines the following day will be hilarious though (have straps that look like little wings)- major tanning will be needed on the honeymoon, I think.

    luckily our venue has over head fans, so i think we will be quite cool, although the front of the building is totally glass, so will reflect the heat if the sun is facing that way, but we can go outside if its really hot :) x
